Seth Temko is the CEO and Chief Strategist at FullOn Strategy, a full service business strategy consulting company that helps businesses own their “go to market success”. On this episode of Data Delicacies, powered by Incentivio, Temko and host Arun Kumar delve into the transformative potential of AI in the restaurant industry, highlighting key innovations and practical applications.

AI for Operations: Adjusting in Real Time: Companies like FasterLines and Holometer use video AI to optimize drive-thru and in-store lines by identifying bottlenecks and alerting managers in real-time, allowing immediate action to boost revenue. For Seth Temko, by addressing operational issues instantly rather than relying on post-fact analysis, companies can offer a higher value proposition 

AI for Daily Business - AI operates so quickly that it often needs built-in delays to match human interaction speeds, taking milliseconds to validate, retrieve data, and respond. Seth Temko believes the rapid efficiency possibilities for AI can assist businesses in daily endeavors, such as handling customer inquiries, including answering phones.

The Communication Sweetspot - Effective communication in restaurant marketing requires balance to avoid over or under-communicating and instead focus on personalized, segmented messaging that ties into your overall brand. Seth Temko believes leveraging AI and support from tech companies like Incentivio can help create engaging themes and messages to incentivize customer return.
